I leave you with this and hope, whatever your faith and beliefs are, you enjoy your holiday at or close to this time of the year. Take care, enjoy those closest to you, and together we make the world a better place.
O Wisdom,
O holy Word of God,
you govern all creation with your strong yet tender care:
Come.
O Sacred Lord of ancient Israel,
you showed yourself to Moses in the burning bush
and you gave the holy law on Mount Sinai:
Come.
O Flower of Jesse’s stem,
you have been raised up as a sign for all people;
kings stand silent in your presence;
the nations bow down in worship before you:
Come.
O Key of David, O royal Power of Israel,
you [not the systems of this world] control
at your will the gate of heaven:
Come break down the prison walls of death.
O Radiant Dawn,
splendor of eternal light, sun of justice:
Come shine on those who dwell in darkness
and the shadow of death.
O, King of all the nations,
the only joy of every human heart;
O Keystone of the mighty arch of humankind:
Come and save these creatures you fashioned from the dust.
O, Emmanuel,
God-With-Us, king and lawgiver,
desire of the nations, Savior of all people:
Come and set us free. d
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.”
Amen.
